Re: Combo machine

I found this group and oldarn through Tony's site in England. I've copied the pictures, etc. and have them next to the machine. What became of the other machine in Oregon? Is it going to be resored, parted out or what. I could sure use that vertical?gearbox and the bearing cap. Are there others or are these the only two known. Do you have any idea what my machine might be worth? I know it's tough to say without seeing it. Ballpark is fine. I just don't want anyone to rip my wife off if I should, uhhhh, well, you know. She knows what the Model T and all my old scooters are worth. Want to keep her up to speed. Well, that and I want to know if I paid too much??????? John

Hi John and welcome to the group.

If you check out Tony Griffith's site in England you will find a bunch
of images from original Dalton combination machine catalogs. Also
there is a link to the combo machine that I seen down in Sutherland
Oregon two years ago. The machine was really beat and broken but most
of it was there. Again check out Tony's site and look over the
pictures I took of the lathe. If you would like a set of these
pictures I can email them to you. It does show some of the details
that your lathe is missing.



Good Luck John and Glad to have you as a member
